~What are the equivilents for the Eberron gods compared to the Greyhawk ones?
~This is because of the choice of relics and who gets them.

Shouldn't this be in the Eberron forum? You'll probably get access to a larger knowledge base from the Eberron fans.

~No one is responding there, there are a lot more people here, and I know that there is some sort of chart that says what teh God equivilents are.

OK, just thought they might have more info for you.

Does Eberron actually have gods per se? I thought they were more aligned towards religions, and esoteric credos... i.e. "The Church of the Silver Flame" type of thing.

While some of the religons in Eberron are more credo/non-divine based (The Church of the Silver Flame, The Undying Court, The Blood of Vol) the largest religon in Korvaire is the worship of the Sovereign Host, a collection of nine good dieties and their evil/amoral counterparts, the Dark Six. The main difference between Eberron and other settings is that noone can say for sure whether the gods are real.

Well, here's the info from the Deity Conversion table for the Mark of Heroes and Xen'drik Expeditions RPGA campaigns. It may not cover everything, but it's a start. However, the best choice would be to pick each relic one by one and decide to which Eberron deity it belongs best. Two items associated with the same deity in Greyhawk might not work so well with a single god in another setting.

Boccob Aureon
Ehlonna Balinor
Fharlanghn Kol Korran
Heironeous Dol Arrah
Kord Dol Dorn
Obad-Hai Balinor
Olidammara Olladra
Pelor Any from The Sovereign Host
St. Cuthbert The Silver Flame
Wee Jas The Undying Court

It's far from perfect, though. Some relics of Fharlanghn should go to Kol Korran, but others would fit The Traveler better. Most of Moradin's relics fit Onatar pretty well, but others would be better suited to Dol Dorn or The Silver Flame. You're missing all the evil deities, as well as the racial ones. Personaly, I'd just check each relic and see if I automatically associate it to a given Eberron deity, without checking whose relic it is in the core panheon. Of course, you have to know your Eberron gods pretty well in order to do that.

I wonder how many people realize that St. Cuthbert was a real world Catholic saint that Gygax changed for D&D?
